Document background
The Simple Intellectual Property Agreement is designed for use in Canadian jurisdictions where parties need to establish clear terms for intellectual property protection, transfer, or licensing.

The agreement covers various forms of intellectual property including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, making it suitable for multiple business scenarios. It's structured to provide comprehensive protection while remaining accessible and understandable for all parties involved. The document is commonly used in business transactions, research collaborations, consulting arrangements, and technology transfers, where clear IP ownership and usage rights need to be established.
